Recruiter Resume Example
A mid-level technical recruiter five years in, agency first and then in-house, who has filled principal engineer searches as well as volume reqs.
A fictional resume written by our team. The person, employers and numbers are invented; the tools, licenses and schools are real.
Why it works
- 1
“In-house technical recruiter, five years in. Carry 18 to 22 engineering reqs and filled 71 roles in two years at a 38-day median, from junior developers to principal engineers.”
Gives req load, hires and time-to-fill in the summary, the three numbers recruiting leaders read for first.
- 2
“Rebuilt the take-home stage after candidates kept dropping there, lifting offer acceptance from 61% to 83%”
A process change with a before and after rate proves closing skill, which pure sourcing numbers never show.
- 3
“Filled 4 principal engineer roles open 5+ months by sourcing from conference speaker lists and OSS maintainers”
Names the hard search and the method that cracked it, since reviewers weigh what you filled, not just how many.
- 4
“Kept 12-month retention of 2024 hires at 92%, against an 84% company average”
Retention of your own hires is the quality-of-hire signal most recruiter resumes leave out.
- 5
“Made 46 IT placements in 22 months and billed $890K in fees, 118% of target in 2022”
Uses agency metrics, placements and billings, for the agency job, so each role is measured the way it was judged.
How it scored
We ran this example through the same free roast you can use, three times, and kept the middle result. The roast ranks a resume against a typical applicant pile and grades hard: even a resume with a number in nearly every bullet usually lands in the B range.
Copy the text
Use it as a skeleton, then replace every line with your own work. A copied bullet with someone else's numbers is the fastest way to fail an interview question.
